Kashmir story

Many historians and locals believe that Jammu was founded by Raja Dzhambulochanom in the 14th century BC. e. . During one of his hunting trips, he reached the Tavi River, where he saw a goat and a lion drink water in one place. The king was amazed and decided to build a city and give him his name: Jambu. Over time, the name turned into "Jammu."

In "folk etymology", the name "Kashmir" means "dried land" (from Sanskrit : Ka = water and shimira = dry out). According to another folk etymology, the sage Kashyap drained the lake at the site of present Kashmir.

In Rajatarangini , the history of Kashmir written by Kalhana in the mid-12th century, it is said that the Kashmir valley used to be a lake. It was drained by the great Risha or the sage Kasyapa, the son of Marichi, the son of Brahma , by closing the passage in the mountains of Barmulla ( Varaha Mula ). When Kashmir was drained, Kashyap asked the Brahmins to come there. Perhaps the legend had some real reason. The name of Kashyapa, according to history and tradition, associated with the drainage of the lake, the city on the shores of the lake was named Kashyapa-Pura, and it is possible to mention the Kaspatyros (Caspatira) Herodotus (3.102, 4.44). Kashmir is designated by Ptolemy as Khao-ir ~ pta.

In some places in Kashmir, its name is pronounced in a similar, archaic manner.

The capital of Kashmir (Cambodia) in epic times was Karna-Rajapuram-gatva-Cambodiah-nirjitastava , in short Rajapur which is identified with modern Rajauri . Later, Panchala began to infiltrate this region. The name Pir Panjal , which is part of modern Kashmir, confirms this fact. Panjal is the distorted Sanskrit name for the Panchala tribe.
